Description

Canadian Diversity Learning Circles:

An action-oriented course to protect and promote cultural diversity and inclusion

Overview of the Course:

Using Institute of Cultural Affairs (ICA) group facilitation methods participants share stories and perspectives; draw from the group's wisdom to come up with a few "keys to success"; and explore what can be done in any group or institution

The facilitator engages the group in a series of conversations and utilizes adult learning techniques to create a safe space where there is a "circle" of teaching and learning about cultural diversity

Some participants become Diversity Change Agents and prepare to lead their own project and facilitate complex discussions to promote cultural diversity and inclusion
